Criterion Apex DM

High-speed sorter optimized for direct mail

Handling virtually any mail type is a challenge faced almost daily. With the newest hardware and software upgrades to our Criterion Apex® sorter, we are pleased to introduce the Criterion Apex DM sorter into the direct mail environment. Until recently, it was not efficient, or even possible, to attempt sorting certain types of mailpiece designs. We’ve changed that by introducing technology into the Criterion Apex DM that allows you to easily sort heavyweight, heavy-letter, slick/glossy, tall mail and much more. With operating speeds up to 72,000 pieces per hour, the Criterion Apex DM gives you the ability to process more of your mail than ever before.
